Epic car sighting....

[Doppelgänger]

So yeah.... today Jenn and I were heading back into Grand Junction, Colorado after a nice trip over to the Gateway Auto Museum (pics of that will be up later)..we came across this. When it passed us, we had to really ask eachother if that really did just happen. So I turned around and chased it down....and found it feeding on some liquid dinosaur...

You know, when I entered the thread... I was expecting something far less epic.


But one of these... truly IS epic... wow!

[EM1toEVO]

That is most definitely an epic car! I especially loved the LM edition that was later released.

[EM1toEVO]

Those wheels are so terrible to be on a McClaren... :no:

Just in case you were wondering what makes the wheels so special...

(taken from wikipedia)
"The McLaren F1 uses 235/45ZR17 front tires and 315/45ZR17 rear tires.[7] These are specially designed and developed solely for the McLaren F1 by Goodyear and Michelin. The tires are mounted on 17x9 inches and 17x11.5 inches cast magnesium wheels, protected by a tough protective paint. The five-spoke wheels are secured with magnesium retention pins."

those words dont make the rims look any better!
but I have never seen one of those in person! That was my dream car growing up!

[EM1toEVO]

^I didn't say they did. I just said the they were special. F1 style, single lug, magnesium wheels are badass.

On the other hand, the LM's wheels hot AND rare. :D

[JennB]

Yes, it had a temp tag on it.

Yesterday was epic car day for us. We also saw a one of a kind Bertone Mantide. Not to mention the amazing collection of classics at the auto museum.

And to think, we were just talking about how we'd been to about a dozen states in the past couple of weeks and had barely seen any impressive cars. Oh how wrong we were... lol

[i4_garage]

even without wheels those are sexy.

[hondakid303]

[Vteckidd]

[4uh8ers]

Very nice. My dad has a few pics of me standing next to, and sitting in one of these when i was just a little grass hopper. I will get those and post them up. There was also a Bugatti eb110 and a Jaguar xj220 that was there. All were in silver, and i got to sit in all of them. Def need to get these pics.

Guy is just pumping gas. "I own this million dollar car"

[EM1toEVO]

I would be paranoid as hail driving it around. I'd shit a cucumber if it got a scratch or a dent.

[Elbow]

Sweet.

There is one around Road Atlanta, and my friend in Florida's uncle is a producer and has one, when I was younger I thought the gold engine bay was the shit.

No joke I would kick a dent in it and scratch it so I can feel fine about driving it it's a car, beat the SHIT out of it, that's what they are for. :goodjob:
